Abstract | The FIFA World Cup, a global celebration of sport, brings immense excitement and pride to host nations. Yet, beneath the spectacle lies a troubling reality. This research explores the darker side of stadium construction for the event, uncovering how corruption and inefficiencies take a heavy toll on host countries. From inflated budgets and wasted funds to the exploitation of workers, these practices drive up costs, result in poorly built infrastructure, and leave nations grappling with long-term financial burdens. Case studies, such as South Africa’s 2010 World Cup and Brazil’s 2014 tournament, reveal the lasting scars of “white elephant” stadiums—structures that become underutilized symbols of wasted potential. The human cost is equally alarming. Local businesses are sidelined, communities are deprived of promised benefits, and workers, particularly migrants, endure dangerous conditions and exploitation, as seen during Qatar’s 2022 World Cup preparations. These failures erode trust in institutions and diminish the transformative potential of hosting such a prestigious event. This research emphasizes the urgent need for change. By prioritizing transparency, fair practices, and sustainable planning, FIFA and host nations can turn these events into genuine opportunities for development. Only through collective accountability and ethical action can we ensure that future World Cups bring lasting benefits to communities, rather than leaving behind a legacy of inequality and missed opportunities. |
